Mustapha Omenesa Idris et al.

Summary: Bioelectrochemical systems, particularly microbial fuel cells (MFCs), are becoming popular for their environmentally friendly energy generation and bioremediation. To improve electron transport and biocompatibility, better anode materials are required.

The PKS-rGO anode also showed enhanced capacitance and faster electron transport rate. In addition, PKS-rGO was more effective than PKS-GO in bioremediating formaldehyde in wastewater treatment. This study provides insights into the effectiveness of PKS-rGO as an anode material for MFCs.
